In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
media: cx88: Fix a null-ptr-deref bug in buffer_prepare()
When the driver calls cx88_risc_buffer() to prepare the buffer, the
function call may fail, resulting in a empty buffer and null-ptr-deref
later in buffer_queue().
The following log can reveal it:
[ 41.822762] general protection fault, probably for non-canonical address 0xdffffc0000000000: 0000 [#1] PREEMPT SMP KASAN PTI
[ 41.824488] KASAN: null-ptr-deref in range [0x0000000000000000-0x0000000000000007]

Fix this by checking the return value of cx88_risc_buffer()
